Reseña de álbum

For Western Vinyl's portrait series, artists are supposed to choose an individual, write two or more songs about them, and provide an image for the cover. Jürgen DeBlonde — here under his Köhn moniker — chose Bruce Willis, but the narrative on "Remembering the Flash Back" suggests he's not very concerned with staying on topic. If it wasn't for that track's story of DeBlonde's childhood, it would be easy to say that he's contrasting Willis' more commercial side by playing Salaryman-styled rock and then destroying it with industrial slabs of noise for the actor's darker side. I Am Robot and Proud's lighter moments and the subterranean noises from David Lynch's soundtracks are other sounds that creep in here and there, but Bruce Willis never sticks in one place very long. It would be nice to think DeBlonde is mocking the laptop crowd's obsession with concepts, but whatever the message, this engaging aural schizophrenia doesn't run out of ideas, just reason.
